Your Majestic Rejection Is A Hit

For any independent artist, each release is a success. Each song is a hit. In this case, you have made my new single "Your Majestic Rejection" my biggest seller yet! In just 24 hours, no less. So happens, that as of 8:45 AM PST on July 4, I've had as many "hits" on the single as all day the first day. Must be the time difference and the global audience. Keep it going, fans, friends and family! This is just the beginning of the wonderful album that I made at Karma Frog with producer Adam Marsland the past 12 months.

The track went up on Google Music today. Yet another platform for you all to check out. Of course, iTunes and CD Baby are great options, too. The single should hit Amazon MP3 shortly.

Thank you all for downloading, listening, supporting and telling your friends!

Peace and Happy Birthday, America!

The gift of gab runs deep in this family. Michael Clarke Duncan has never made me laugh so hard as Otis, Roscoe's unlikely little brother. Anytime the three of them were on screen the audience's laughter drowned out the dialogue. Watch for the softba...

Murderous Haircut of the Mayor of Bel Air - Book Review

“The Murderous Haircut of the Mayor of Bel Air” is a trippy new mystery novel from Phillip Mottaz. It captures the grit and gilt of the City of Angels with the flair of a contemporary Raymond Chandler. The brisk pace and wit are reminiscent of Douglas Adams’s entries in the detective game. Flourishes of Fletch and “Medium” also spring to mind. However, Mottaz has added a psychic/mutant/superhuman touch and his own comedic voice, structure and internal monologues to the proceedings that help the author announce his own style and the arrival of a literary heroine for a new generation. Hairstylist and budding private investigator, Danica Luman is the perfect character to convey the irony, angst and sarcasm needed to tell a 21st century L.A. crime story. Danica also represents anyone who thought it would be neat to get tangled up in a mystery and the darkly comic cautionary tale that follows. The genre is recognizable, but Mottaz offers a fresh take on the not-ready-for-prime-ti...
